GOLD HILL. (SpU William A.
Blanton of Alameda, Cal., hut, leased
with an option to buy the old Luthy
property on Sardine creek and Is now
occupying the small house on the
premises.
The property is owned by Mrs. D. j
Mirny or saiem. whose late hus
band was at one time a teacher In
the Sardine Creek school. Subse
quently, Mr. Luthy taught In school
in Grants Pass, uease of the land
waa arranged through Mrs. Luthy 'a
son-in-law. H. P. Jewett. principal of
the Central Point high school. Aside
from the small dwelling, the prop
erty, consisting of 160 acres, is un
improved. A mining man of long eperience
who has sought gold in most of the
western states, Mr. Blanton at pres
ent is interested in analyzing a
quartz deposit on the Luthy property
but if that does not prove to be j
worth developing he said it Is pos
sible he would purchase the place
anyway. Mr. Blanton expects his wife
to come here shortly and he stated
that if her health improves as notice
ably as It did a short time ago when
she visited In this part of Oregon he
will take up the option and establish
his residence here. In recent years
be has been in business In Alameda.
A member of a pioneer family, Mr.
Blanton is not unfamiliar with this
section of Oregon. He prospected
around here 42 years ago and once
resided in Ashland for 15 years. Tils
father. John Blanton, was a Goli Hill
resident in the early '60s.
John Blanton', his brother, and
their father crossed the plains from
Clay county, Missouri, and settled in
what Is now Sale-.n In 1847. John
was then 18 yea:s old and his brother j
16. They had not been out here j
long when they heard the news of ;
the gresc discovery of gold in Call-
fornK.
With a few other adventurers the j
three Blantons set out In January, j
1849, for Sutter's Mill, where the i
original gold discovery was made, '
picking their tortuous way slowly and i
cautiously through the Indian-infest- j
ed wilderness that Oregon and Call- ;
fornia were, it was related by Wil- !
llsm A. Blanton, who heard the story i
of the gold rush numerous times from ;
the lips of his father, John.
The venturesome Blantons and
their companions went first to Sut
ter's Mill but there they were advised
to prospect along the Feather river,
which they did. much to their profit.
They were among the first to reach
California after the discovery of gold
had become known, Mr. Blanton aid.
After mining along the Feather
river for more than a. year, during
which time they accumulated a cony
atderable fortune in gold, the Blan
tons set out on a river boat for San
Francisco. William Blanton recalled
his father's story. There they board
ed a sailing vessel and after six ,
weeks of uncertain progress they fin- j
ally reached what is now Portland.
It would seem but natural that j
William Blanton should turn early in
bis life to mining, wnicn ne am. ne
has mined In Oregon. California, Ari
zona, ilaho an Nevada. Indeed, It
was a mining boom in Nevada that
enticed him from this part of Oregon
manv vears ago. Now, with real es
tate business in Alameda dull, it Is
the new quest for gold, motivated by
the high price for the metal, that has
brought him back.
